Amnis® Imaging Flow Cytometers

Combining microscopy and flow cytometry, Amnis imaging flow cytometry systems provide bright-field, dark-field (SSC), and several fluorescent images of each cell in flow, at high speed. Paired with IDEAS® software for quantitative image analysis and population statistics, the technology gives you the ability to address complex biology that traditional flow cytometers can't resolve. Not only do the instruments reveal spatial localization of biomolecules and cellular components, but they also report signal intensity with very high sensitivity.

Choose from two imaging flow cytometry platforms: the FlowSight® Imaging Flow Cytometer and the ImageStream®X Mark II Imaging Flow Cytometer. Our Cellular Specialists can best guide you to choosing the instrument that fits your needs.

Applications of Imaging Flow Cytometry

Unlike traditional flow cytometers, which are limited to dot plots or histograms of signal intensity and are often limited by less sensitive fluorescence detection, Amnis instruments provide sensitivity, visual confirmation, detection of rare events, and novel applications, such as quantitative analysis of internalization, colocalization, cell-cell interactions, and others (shown above). The opportunities are boundless.
